Thank you very much, and thank you for visiting my blog. Welcome!

The last two mornings we have had clearer air, but then the smoke moves back in. It is the first ever that our dogs are sneezing and coughing. Birds are not even coming to feeders except for the short period of clearer air. Now we wait for the rains, as do the firefighters. Hundreds of thousands of acres have burned thus far and I believe that is in Western USA alone. British Colombia also has many fires.
